Offer of a place or an alternative plan
If you meet the entry requirements, you will receive a formal Offer of Admission (conditional or unconditional), providing information on the course of offer, starting date and payment of fees. If the course is full or you do not meet the requirements, we will offer you an alternative study plan.
Deposit payment
To confirm your acceptance of the offer and reserve your place you will be required to pay the first instalment of your fees as a deposit.
Accommodation availability check
Upon receipt of your deposit, we will then check the availability of your chosen accommodation and hold a place in your name.

We will then write to you with a confirmation of your reserved place.
Accommodation & arrival confirmation
In good time for your arrival, we will ask you to forward on your flight information and confirm details about your accommodation.

We look forward to welcoming you either at the airport (if you’ve booked an airport pick up) or on campus.
